simplify the expression (-3p)^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

81p^4 your power can be distributed to your coefficient.

OpenStudy (vortish):

why is the ^ 4 still in the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you can't get rid of it on your variable until you know what your variable is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Should it be -81p^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the negative would be canceled from the positive power of four.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be -3*-3*-3*-3 =negative term * a negative term =a positive term, a positive term * a negative term = a negative term, then a negative * a negative= a positive for his final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant even power of four, not positive. sorry if that led to any confusion.
